Ptahhotep | Wisdom and Ma'at in Ancient Egypt

I want to discuss Ptah-Hotep, the debate surrounding the authorship of Ptah-Hotep's maxims, and the content of his teachings. I've been wanting to make a video like this for ages. Ptah-Hotep is probably one of my favourite topics regarding ancient Egypt, and ancient Egypt is my favourite topic in general, so excuse me if I got a little overzealous in this video. I'm very excited to bring the discussion of Ptah-Hotep to you! Here is my website where I discuss Ptah-Hotep's maxims, as well as give translations for the whole text: https://ptahhotep.weebly.com/analyzat... It's a kind of extensive website so you'll find other things on there as well regarding Egyptian cosmology. Here is Christian Jacq's book, containing the translations of Ptah-Hotep that I put into my website:   / 497881.the_wisdom_of_ptah_hotep   PLEASE get this book if you can 🙏 Here is a PDF with another, different translation of the maxims, that includes the hieroglyphics and transliteration (!!!): https://www.academia.edu/33895028/Pta... Finally, here's the intro to another book that I would recommend buying, titled "The Egyptian Gentleman" by Wim Van Den Dungen https://sofiatopia.org/The%20Egyptian... It also offers a wonderful analysis of Ptah-Hotep's sebayt. ---------------------------------- Support me on Patreon:   / radioacolyte   or donate on Ko-fi! https://ko-fi.com/radioacolyte You can also download AliStrnad and I's Kemetic hymns on Bandcamp: https://radioacolyte.bandcamp.com/ ------------------------------- Happy learning everyone! ♡
